LIVERPOOL have sent a clear title message to Manchester City win their win over Crystal Palace.

That is the opinion of BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton, who saw Liverpool maintain their unbeaten start to the Premier League season with a 2-0 victory at Selhurst Park on Monday evening.

A James Milner penalty on the stroke of half-time and a strike from Sadio Mane deep in stoppage time of the second half was enough to lift them into second table with just goal difference separating themselves and Manchester City.

The Reds were rarely troubled and Alisson, a £67million summer signing, had little to do throughout the 90 minutes.

Mohamed Salah had an unusually quiet evening, although he was knocked down on the edge of the area in the second half which led to the sending off of Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
